報告指出 40%的癌症診斷與肥胖有關
An unhealthy diet may affect more than just your waistband, a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 'Vital Signs' report shows.
美國疾病控制與預防中心的一份新的生命體徵報告顯示，不健康的飲食影響的可能不僅僅是你的腰帶。In a press release, the CDC stated that 40 percent of all U.S. cancer diagnoses can now be linked to overweight and obesity.
在一場新聞發佈會上，美國疾控中心指出，目前美國40%的癌症診斷都與超重和肥胖有關。The study presents daunting results, as nearly two-thirds of American adults are currently defined as overweight or obese.
這項研究結果令人生畏，因爲現在有近三分之二的美國成年人被定義爲超重或肥胖。
"A majority of American adults weigh more than recommended – and being overweight or obese puts people at higher risk for a number of cancers – so these findings are a cause for concern," said Brenda Fitzgerald, CDC director. "By getting to and keeping a healthy weight, we all can play a role in cancer prevention."
美國疾病防治中心主任布倫達·菲茨傑拉德表示：“大多數美國成人的體重都超過了正常建議體重，而超重或肥胖使人們患癌症的風險更高，因此這些發現纔會引起關注。通過達到和維持健康的體重，我們就可以有效預防癌症。”
Many Americans are unaware of the connection between obesity and cancer, despite findings that link nearly 630,000 of the 2014 cancer diagnoses to obesity.
儘管有調查發現，2014年的癌症診斷中有63萬例與肥胖有關，但許多美國人仍不知道肥胖與癌症之間的聯繫。Out of all cancer diagnoses, nearly 55 percent of female cases and 24 percent of male cases were linked to overweight and obesity.
在所有的癌症診斷中，近55%的女性病例和24%的男性病例與超重和肥胖有關。The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has identified specific types of cancers that are related to obesity and overweight: meningioma, multiple myeloma, adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, and cancers of the thyroid, post-menopausal breast, gallbladder, stomach, liver, pancreas, kidney, ovaries, uterus, colon and rectum (colorectal).
國際癌症研究機構已經確定了與肥胖和超重有關的特定類型的癌症：腦膜瘤、多發性骨髓瘤、食道腺癌、甲狀腺癌、絕經後乳腺癌、膽囊癌、胃癌、肝癌、胰腺癌、腎癌、卵巢癌、子宮癌、結腸直腸癌。Many of these, including colon and rectal, pancreatic, breast, liver, and ovarian are amongst the deadliest types of cancers.
其中包括結腸直腸癌、胰腺癌、乳腺癌、肝癌和卵巢癌在內的大多數癌症，都是最致命的癌症類型。The CDC is urging health care providers to fight these statistics by helping patients manage their weight and by encouraging healthy lifestyles.
美國疾控中心敦促衛生保健提供者通過幫助患者控制體重和鼓勵健康的生活方式，來降低這些統計數字。
